A young sorceress, Alyssa Sharr, is in search of her parents and battles with monsters, demons, and wizards alike to discover all she can about her past. As she searches across the many realms acquiring clues and information that will aid her in her search, a series of attacks redirect her attention to find out who is trying to kill her. She comes across new friends and allies while her enemies attempt to stop her. With each step she takes and each piece of new information she gets, Alyssa comes to discover that she has stumbled across something far more dangerous and complex than a search for her parents, or a simple assassin wanting her dead. All she has to do in order to uncover the truth is stay alive...

A Fire of Magic

	Even though the library section was fairly large, it was enclosed enough and quiet that both Alyssa and Markus heard Derek’s scuffle. She hurried up the stairs to the top level and met Markus on her way.


	“You heard it too?” Markus asked as he led the way to the top level of the library.


	“I don’t know what exactly I heard, but it didn’t sound good whatever it was.” Alyssa responded as she and Markus reached the top level and stood there surveying the shelves and stacks of books and materials. Nothing seemed out of place or indicating a struggle of any kind. “Derek,” Alyssa called out and then waited for a response, but she could only hear the soft echoes of her own words.


	“What do you think could have happened to him?” Markus asked concerned; Alyssa shook her head.


	“Considering what’s housed in this section, any number of things. Go that way and see what you find and I’ll try this direction.” Alyssa pointed to the left, and she began moving to the right.
